43. He can and I believe will be charged by the state.

Federal agents are generally immune from state prosecution for actions taken as part of their official duties. Immunity only applies when an officer's actions were authorized under federal law and were necessary and proper.

If Minnesota charged the agent, he could seek to move the case to federal court and argue he is immune from prosecution.

To prevail, the state would have to show the actions were outside his official duties or were objectively unreasonable or clearly unlawful.

The actions were clearly NOT necessary and proper. They violate Federal law enforcement procedures. It's a slam dunk for the state to show that the actions were unreasonable and clearly unlawful.

The state of Minnesota will NOT let this guy get away with it. I believe they will definitely charge him. What happens after that remains to be seen. A judge may rule he has immunity (though I suspect the vast majority of judges including Republican appointees would rule against him). A jury could acquit him, though that is unlikely as well. But, I'm not predicting the ultimate outcome, just that the State of Minnesota will definitely bring charges against him. They have no choice. The guy committed cold blooded murder captured on video.
